Recap: Capicons (June 12)

This past Sunday Curls Studio was a guest at the June 12, 2011 Capicons Comic Book & Pop Culture Con at Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire Hall in Dunn Loring, VA. Above is a panorama view of all the guests onstage.


It was great to meet some new faces, eat doughnuts and draw a commission of The Crow. Thanks to the organizers and exhibitors at Capicons for putting on a fun show. If you missed Capicons, you can join us at one of our upcoming tour dates or visit our Etsy Store to purchase our creations online.

Podcast: You, Me, Them, Everybody LIVE!

The episode of You, Me, Them, Everybody that was recorded LIVE last Monday, June 6 is now available here.

The talk show podcast features Joe Carabeo, Tim Young and Frau Eva. Frau Eva provided the best band interview of all time. Pictured above is Joe Carabeo (writer of Kid Roxy, Black Magic Tales and The Legettes) with host Brandon Wetherbee.

In addition, please feel free to listen to my appearance on YMTE from January here.

More photos from YMTE can be found on the Curls Studio Facebook Page.

Sonjay Dutt Vector Illustration

Above is a commissioned pro bono vector illustration of professional wrestler - The Original Playa from the Himalaya - Sonjay Dutt. I just added it to my Behance design portfolio. It's been over a year since I have uploaded work on Behance. I hope you enjoy my work - now let’s work on getting Sonjay signed to the WWE!


Here is a backyard wrestling video featuring Sonjay and Joe. Vintage Sonjay Dutt!


Here is a video of more current Sonjay Dutt moves and matches.

Alphabattle: Number 8

Above is my number 8 entry and you can view all the other submissions here: http://www.lettercult.com/archives/3300#more-3300

I was surprised that a snake was not used in any other submissions because it almost seemed like such an obvious solution to this challenge that I almost did not do it. I do like that my snake reminds me of a bowling pin. I'd like to see a snake swallow a bowling pin one day.

I took part in designing a number one and number two. I had hoped to complete all the numbers, but missed a few weeks due to being busy with other activities. Maybe one day I can catch up on the missed numbers.

Did you enjoy this fun design challenge?
